Hi,This is Ellen.
ReplyDeleteI like the video because it presents with cartoon characters and I can get the information from clip.
Actually, I can not understand mostly.
The man's accent and talking speed are challenging me.
Some history of English were similar toI learned in class. But there are more information about English history in the clip. For example, the English history after the Shakespeare that were not mentioned in the class.
This is Anita.
ReplyDeleteFor the first question,yes, because it made history more intereting.Unfortunately, i couldn't undrstand most of the video,just caught words and guess what it might be.I think it is similar to the history of English we learned in class.But that class we went through the history but in the video it completely.
Hello,I'm Jack.

But, most of the sounds, I can't understand and it also speak very fast.
It was similar to the history of English which we learned in class.
Hi, It's Misaki.
ReplyDeleteI like this video because they explained with pictures so even I couldn't get what he said, I could guess what was the story.
I couldn't understand what he said most of part because he spoke fast and I felt his intonation was difficult to get for me.
I think it is similar to the history of English we learned in class but this video explained more in detail than the class.They showed some word in actuality.
